Redbirds

[bleach]

Redbirds beat the Bears. If UNI beats Loyola, Drake will either be outright champs or tie (assuming they beat the trees tonight).

[Bear4Life]

I mean, AJ Green is a hell of a freshman for UNI, but I am baffled that the best coach in the conference calls a TO and his "play" is to give the ball to a freshman guard, clear out and hope he wins a 1-on-1 matchup.

[Go4Valley]

Well Green has a nice game and can create his own shot. I personally would pick and rolled but The Jake is a good coach so you got to trust him.

UNI loses another close one to the Ramblers. I can go for the trilogy no problem

[uniguy]

Man I haven't been this frustrated since A&M. Could not have drawn up a worse more frustrating day for UNI if you tried.

[sivert]

UNI just shot badly. Defended well, but shot badly - especially the first half.
What a disappointing end.

Is Townes ok?

[Blers]

UNI just shot badly. Defended well, but shot badly - especially the first half.
What a disappointing end.

Is Townes ok?

Slugfest. I was baffled Green didn't pass out to Halderman(?) who was pretty wide open for like 3 seconds. Townes finished the game and tweeted after, he's alright. SCARY fall though.
